                           OBAMACARE SECURITY

  (Mr. HOLDING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLDING. Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate enough that ObamaCare has 
increased the cost of health care for families across the country. On 
top of the skyrocketing premiums, limited choices for doctors and 
coverage, and regulatory burdens on small business, it is worrisome 
that people's personal information is now being subjected to potential 
fraud in the ObamaCare exchanges.
  The security problems with healthcare.gov go far beyond error 
messages and connection issues. In many cases, the people in charge of 
collecting and processing our most sensitive information haven't been 
fully trained or vetted; and although the administration knew the Web 
site hadn't been properly tested, they launched it anyway, leaving the 
American people vulnerable.
  That is why I introduced H.R. 3652, the No Identity Theft in Health 
Care Act, which would increase penalties for those who abuse their 
access to personal information that Americans are forced to submit when 
signing up for ObamaCare to commit identity theft. I also look forward 
to supporting the Health Exchange Security and Transparency Act later 
this week.
  Mr. Speaker, it is unacceptable that people's personal information is 
at risk. The administration needs to address this.
